Girl In A Coma and Bexar Co. Judge Nelson Wolff meet up!
"Bexar County Judge Nelson Wolff's usually dry State of the County
address was fired up this afternoon by the local indie group Girl in a
Coma, as Wolff proposed surpassing Austin as the Live Music Capital of
Texas, 1200 WOAI news reports.
Wolff cited San Antonio's rich
history of rock, conjunto, Tejano, and country music, and said the city
has the venues and the music to compete with Austin's Austin City Limits
Music Festival.
"The Pavilions of Mission Park is
located on sixty acres of park land that we own," Wolff said. "Next to
that is the city owned Mission Drive-in."
Wolff said that venue could match
the 220,000 people who regularly flock to Austin's Zilker Park for that
city's music festival.
Wolff said it's outrageous that San Antonio is missing out on major concerts to its smaller neighbor.
"Witness Paul McCartney's sold out
show in Austin this week while he skipped San Antonio," Wolff said,
recalling that it was McCartney who opened the Alamodome in 1993.
Wolff said the city and county
must create better relations with promoters, create major outside
musical festivals, and tune into the evolution of indie bands.
"I want to see Bexar County make its mark in the new sounds of music," he said."

The MAJESTIC THEATRE welcomes AN ACOUSTIC EVENING WITH LYLE LOVETT & ROBERT EARL KEEN, FRIDAY, MAY 24 at 8:00PM
"Two of Texas’ greatest singer/songwriters Lyle Lovett & Robert Earl Keen will turn the stage into their front porch for one special acoustic evening at the Majestic Theatre on Friday, May 24, 2013. Performing together for a rare opportunity you won’t want to miss!
For
nearly three decades, Lyle Lovett has defined the modern Texas
singer-songwriter. Fusing elements of the blues, country, folk, gospel
and jazz,
four-time Grammy winner Lovett—in a career that spans 15 albums and
more than four million records sold—has created his own style of
Americana, defying convention and breaking down barriers along the way.
Lovett began his music career while attending Texas A&M University in the late ’70s, where he graduated with Bachelors’
degrees in journalism and German. From his self-titled debut album in 1986 through 2012’s
Release Me,
each of Lovett’s releases has served as a powerful reminder
that he possesses one of the most distinctive voices in music. His
sell-out concerts, whether with his versatile Large Band or in an
intimate acoustic setting, serve as showcases for Lovett’s
unique gift for storytelling and the tradition of timeless music Lovett
continues to create.
As
singer/songwriter Robert Earl Keen has built a reputation as one of the
nation’s finest musical storytellers, he has been guided by several
self-imposed rules and traditions
that are often the antithesis of music industry standards.
It’s
a formula that has worked well for Keen since he began performing in
1981 and paving the way for a generation of songwriters and performers
who make a living on the road.
He paints musical portraits that are as vivid as sunsets over the great
Southwest and stories that are as compelling and timeless as Cormac
McCarthy novels. But what separates the Americana music pioneer from
other songwriters is that he matches this lyrical
literature with irresistible melodies, resulting in music that attracts
thinkers and dancers alike. His songs are infused with such deep
insight and humor that a new meaning and perspective is revealed with
each listen, allowing his songs to grow more profound
with time. That’s why artists including George Strait, Willie Nelson,
Johnny Cash, Lyle Lovett and the Dixie Chicks have chosen to record his
songs over the years."
Tickets for Lyle Lovett & Robert Earl Keen ($42.50 - $57.50) will be available
at all Ticketmaster outlets, including the Majestic Theatre Box Office, online at
TICKETMASTER
or charge by phone at 800.745.3000.
All tickets subject to applicable service charges and fees.

SAM'S BURGER JOINT
330 East Grayson - San Antonio, TX
"In the modern music world, there is a
propensity for smoke and mirrors, and powder and paint to prime an
artist for public consumption.... That's what makes it all the sweeter
on the rare occasion that a performer like PATRICE PIKE (Visit Patrice's Official Website) comes along.
Billboard Magazine
proclaimed Patrice Pike "one of the finest up and coming contemporary
rock singers in America".... A wonderful accolade from such an important
barometer of the music business, but that tag really only scratches the
surface. Patrice's music and her life are mirror images of sorts. Both
are teeming with a rootsy soulfulness that can only emanate from the
heart. And the voice? Yes, she possesses a rich, deeply-expressive
voice, that stands out well-above any crop of "rock star" vocalists that
one could assemble. What completes the package, is that, this voice is
delivering the true-world songs of a woman who lives her life with a
wide-eyed sense of adventurism, passion and freedom. Margaret Moser (of The Austin Chronicle) calls Patrice "Exuberantly Soulful", and in the words of one of Pike's fans "Patrice is truly unforgettable. I listen to her as much as I can. I love the love she sings. I know it's real."
As a co-founder of seminal Austin jam band, Sister Seven, at the age of 16, Pike set out on a musical journey that would, at once, shape and be shaped by her soul, with every step along the way. While still in her teens, Patrice wrote and sang Sister Seven's top 10 Billboard hit "Know What You Mean', and won the Grand Prize in the USA Songwriting Competition. But, before they band had it's chance to shine for the masses, their record company, Arista Records, went through a major shakeup, which led to the departure of it's legendary president, Clive Davis, as well as several of it's developing artists being dropped -- including Sister Seven.
With the early introduction to, and experiences in the world of the major label music industry in-tow, Patrice was more determined than ever, to create and share her muse with the world, in the most honest, self-reflective way that she knew how. In the years following the 2000 breakup of Sister Seven, Pike has toured the states and the world relentlessly. Her evolution as a songwriter and performer are nothing short of extraordinary. Many say that she is creating the finest, most defining musical work of her career right now.
In this age of music industry decline, Patrice Pike's honesty and
dedication has helped her to build a strong, devoted grass-roots fan
base, and to release her own music on her own terms. And her commitment
doesn't end with the music. Patrice is a respected social and
environmental activist, co-founder and Executive Director of the Grace
Foundation of Texas (an organization that provides services for young
adult survivors of homelessness), and she has a disciplined meditation
and Yoga practice. Because of all of this, Patrice has earned the love
and respect of countless fans, friends, and fellow musicians around the
globe.
Special guest SAM VILLELA (Visit Villela on Facebook) is best known to fans of SEXTO SOL as their blazingly stirring vocalist and Hammond organ player. drawing equal inspiration from such Chicano soul legends as Santana, Malo, Sauce Gonzalez and Ernie and Randy Garibay, and 60's soul/R&B icons Booker T., Otis Redding, James Brown and Al Green, Sam mixes in a healthy dose of his own contemporary rhythm & blues and gospel fire, to offer up an ideally-blended and quintessentially "Now" sound!"

Mitote Records Summer Releases
San Antonio label launches with 2 new releases
San Antonio, TX - Mitote Records is excited to announce its first releases of 2013, ska-pop septet Bite Lip Bleed and 5-piece dance rock band Secrets and Irises. Both bands are female-led and set to release their records this June.
Mitote
began as an imprint label by Pop Pistol for the vinyl re-release of
2008’s Angelus, a split LP/EP combo CD, and their second full-length
album, Animal Prisms. Mitote Records also expanded to include Langton
Drive on its roster with the release of their self-titled debut EP.
This year, Bite Lip Bleed and Secrets and Irises join the Mitote team,
both releasing EPs.
Bite
Lip Bleed is a new effort by former SA ska band Kevin Goes 2 College’s
vocalist Jen Cavazos and Silent Minority’s Juancho Aguirre with rhythm
and horns section from various local projects. This group of veterans
young and old combines a party vibe with serious backbone. The “Settle
for a Funeral” EP release party is scheduled for Friday, June 28 at Hi-Tones.
Secrets
and Irises has found a solid lineup from its original inception four
years ago with the addition of powerful young frontwoman Kelsey Novak.
The band’s sound has evolved to incorporate a blend of indie rock with
head-nodding electronic dance music fit for a good time. The debut EP
was recorded and produced by the band itself with Alex Scheel as
mastering engineer. Saturday, June 29 is reserved as the official release party at Jacks.
Mitote
Records is a project by San Antonio musicians who, through their
experience, have developed a method to become self-sustaining as a band.
The goal now is to share that knowledge with other aspiring independent
artists.
Official release dates for both records will be announced soon. For more information, visit www.mitotemusic.com
